ENG 118 All the World's a Stage

Roger Pinches, MW 1:10 PM-2:30 PM

We live in a world where everybody seems to be performing. We see this in the political arena and on reality TV shows. We see it on websites like You Tube and on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. In this class, we will look at how our lives have grown more performative in the advent of new concepts like "reality", "sincerity", "self", and "friend", and what theat means for us as individuals and as a society.
